Church of St John the Baptist
The most impressive building in Great Clacton is the Church of St John Baptist, a significant Norman church with heavily-buttressed elevations in septaria with thin brick quoins. The weather boarding of the belfry stage of the tower adds to the prominence of this building as an important local landmark, with its short pyramidal spire.
South of the church is a well maintained churchyard with many fine ornamental trees. Features of particular importance are the avenue of limes leading to the south porch, the strong enclosure on the south side, and a prominent and unusual tomb which makes an effective pinch point with a lamp post at a slight curve in the churchyard path leading eastwards. Please bring a pen. Tweezers may be required.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
